I know you’ve been there, because I sure have! There’s nothing more frustrating for someone who loves to read than a nasty reading slump. There are always seasons of life that get busy and books are on the back burner for a while but that’s not what I’m talking about here. I’m talking about the desire to pick up a… Read More

Have you ever noticed that the most charming and inviting blogs are the ones where you get to know the person behind the screen? Someone who shares themself with you no matter the subject they’re talking about. It’s that personality that keeps you coming back again and again regardless of how small or broad the niche. This past weekend I… Read More

Serious literature is great, but sometimes a little spoof never hurt anyone either! I’ll be really honest, I don’t do scary. I love true crime, mystery, or suspense but a big HELL NO to thrillers. As much as I’d like to read some Stephen King, I just don’t think it would be a good idea. I already don’t sleep enough… Read More

Unfortunately, as much as I’d like to, I can’t read all day long. Sometimes I need to cook, clean, or take care of my kids … you know, #adulting and all that. Fortunately, I can listen to bookish content in order to keep myself topped up those fuzzy literary feelings. I know, I know, I could just listen to audiobooks… Read More

One of the things that I noticed when immersing myself into reading culture is the amount or bookish lingo that exists in this space. And that’s not a bad thing! Having your own jargon within a group can really help create a sense of belonging and community. It’s like secret code or something! Bookish culture is ripe with acronyms and… Read More

I had been throwing around ideas and scouring Pinterest (come on over and follow me) for bookshelf inspiration for a while now and I finally pulled the trigger and got down to business on my own DIY bookshelf build! I say “I”, but the majority or the heavy lifting was done my darling Dad who is always willing to lend… Read More

About the Book Selling stories is a deadly business Tanwen doesn’t just tell stories–she weaves them into crystallized sculptures that sell for more than a few bits. But the only way to escape the control of her cruel mentor and claw her way from poverty is to set her sights on something grander: becoming Royal Storyteller to the king…. Read More

Those who know me, know how much of a nerd I am. I hated math in school but in my adult life, I find statistics pretty interesting. Particularly, reading stats! Don’t ask me why. I couldn’t explain it if I tried! Some of my favourite blog posts to read and videos to watch are of people sharing the details of… Read More

Every year, I debate what I’m going to do for a reading tracker and whether or not I’ll use it. As I said in my reading goals post, I want to make a bigger effort to… Read More

Happy New Year, friends! I’m not normally one to make yearly resolutions, but having a list of goals is definitely something I can get behind. Maybe it’s just the word “resolution” that I don’t like. It’s entirely too formal and restrictive to me. Since this book blog is just beginning, now is the perfect time to set myself some reading… Read More
